Termite Fast Facts: What You Need To Know | Termites might be the bane of your existence, but they’re actually pretty incredible creatures. Termites are one of the most destructive insect pests of the entire world, with the Formosan termite along causing a third of the damage that is caused by all invasive insects—and termites are only found within 40 degrees north and south of the Equator. In the U.S. alone, termites cause more than a billion dollars in damage every year. Approximately $2 billion is spent every year in the U.S. to prevent or treat for termites. Look past the fact that they cause billions of dollars worth of damage each year and you’ll be surprised to learn that these little decomposers have more to them than what meets the eye! Despite all the damage and destruction termites have wreaked since almost the beginning of time, these ant-like insects are actually beneficial in nature, aiding in the decomposition of dead and decaying wood and the return of nutrients to the soil. Here’s a list we compiled of termite fast facts.
